So I'm at San Diego Comic Con, and so far, I haven't managed to get into anything I tried for, even though none of them were for big tv/movie panels. There's only one other thing I wanna see tomorrow, for a show I no longer watch even though I'm still lurking in the fandom. I have three choices: take the last bus and trolley combo that'll get me there before 6:00 am--at 12:15 am--or the first of tomorrow, which will get me there at 6:40 am and cut my chances of getting in down to minuscule. Or I could skip it and feel miserable that so far I've seen jack shit and spent a lot of time in lines. I'll be cosplaying in kind of a big poofy dress tomorrow, too, so I dunno about safely sleeping outside.

A poofy dress has no bearing on your safety. If anything g it will make you stand out more if you need help.

I'll be less mobile, basically. Although the plus is that I'm unlikely to be mistaken for a homeless person and hassled by the police. In previous years, the line for the biggest venue started the day before events, so I would've had a large group of nerds to lurk by. Now they've come up with a system so people mostly clear out of the area at night.

Wny do people go to SDCC? It sounds like you can't do anything.

Mte, it sounds overcrowded and awful, which is a shame.

My friend and I were thinking about going on Sunday to see the Supernatural panel, but apparently you have to get there by 1am the night before to even have a chance of getting the wristband that will let you get into the auditorium.

(Also I have social anxiety and don't like crowds.)

Well, unless you bought a badge in the online feeding frenzy a couple months ago, you couldn't get in anyway, so there's that.

OP--it's my local con and I've been going for 12 years. I wouldn't go if I lived more than an hour or two away--I live half an hour away by bus or fifteen minutes by car. A couple years ago I met someone who flew from Australia to go, and boggled. Basically, the con reached max capacity and started only selling tickets online, which turned it from a very, very big con into an Event, where people go just to say they've gone. When I first started going it was already huge, but I could buy a four day pass with Preview Night up until the day of the Con, and if I bought it early enough it was $40 for all four and a half days. Now it's $250 and before they instituted the online lottery tickets sold out in 3 minutes. Even five years ago, I'd buy my tickets for next year's con at the con. Wish I knew someone in Atlanta; Dragon Con sounds more my speed--big, but without name recognition among non-geeks.
